Same thing that happens to everything else you breath in everyday, your body deals with it. vaping is liquid, it is simply broken down and absorbed. With everything else you take into your lungs on any given day, vapor is probably one of the easier things to manage.

I think that's true, especially since about 3 months after quitting cigarettes, your lungs can once again clean themselves -- thanks to the regrowth of the cilia.

However, with my own problems with VG, I think the stuff is just too thick for my own lungs to clean fast enough, so it builds up, and I start to feel it -- it feels like a hairball that I can't cough up. With 83%-84% PG, I don't get that feeling at all, and no more coughing than would be expected from an asthmatic, so it would seem that my lungs have no problem clearing PG -- it's thin so the coating is thin, easier to clean away.

PG has antifungal and antibacterial properties.

To claim that VG has antifungal or antibacterial properties seems to be an overstatement.

Mmmmmkay.....:laugh:

Vegetable glycerine is hypoallergenic, and people suffering from acne can use this product without worry that it will aggravate their condition. Vegetable glycerine is also very antibacterial and aids in preventing breakouts and keeping pores clear. It also can speed healing of present acne lesions. It is not inflammatory and will not irritate skin like many other products with harsh chemical ingredients.
(emphasis mine)

From here...Vegetable Glycerine

Here is a study on the STERILITY TESTING AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF COMMERCIAL GRADE GLYCERINE , which says...
Glycerine was found to be bacteriostatic and bactericidal at various concentrations against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus. 3. A positive correlation was found between the bacteriostatic and bactericidal concentrations of glycerine against the test organisms.


I have to find the information on my computer for antifungal properties of vegetable glycerine, be back later, perhaps later this evening. :2cool::vapor:

It already carries sufficient weight as I can find no where the opposite, can you argue the opposite with studies? Perhaps you could find some? :blush:

Sorry but using a topical argument when we are inhaling it, is different. Am I going to waste time trying to prove that to you? Nope. It's obvious plus something tells me there aren't any studies out there about the antimicrobial properties of inhaled VG. Which in itself renders your argument moot. :blush:

How about you google it and prove me wrong?

Can you find a study that says vaping mentholated liquids does not make green unicorns fly out of your ....? If there's no study says otherwise, then it must be true right?

My bad, please, show me how the body handles it differently, inhaled versus topical and why the effect would be lost on inhalation. :(

Terrible analogy, what do green unicorns shooting out the .... and glycerin have in common anyway? If it's so harmful then prove it. Oh, wait, you can't, that's why you're here on behalf of green unicorns out yer .....

You should try and bring something more relevant to the table, green unicorns, lol, what have you been playing with?

OK, you lost me. How is a "topical" properties argument not pertinent to the topical surface of the lungs?

If PG or VG is topically antibacterial, then it is antibacterial to the surface if the lung tissues as well. More so in fact because of the moisture, the diffusion gradient would cause a wider surface area to be covered by the antibacterial.

What you are implying is not logical.

VG and PG were both studied in relation to their use in medical
inhalers as both have similar properties.
the reason PG became the first choice was being thinner
it didn't clog as much as VG. inhalers with VG are availible
for those with a sensitivity to PG.

I'm almost certain you have the study link to support your claim. Otherwise, you know, forum science and all that.....

I like that term... "Forum Science".


BTW - A recent Study found that 3 out of 4 brands of Maple Syrup contained Diacetyl.

Which could contribute to Pancake Lung.

LOL

But..... MY syrup supplier only uses diacetyl-free trees in the manufacture of their syrup. They typed a letter in Microsoft word so I have proof!

My taste buds tell me the truth. :pervy:

Its a Well Known fact that when a person switches from French Toast to Waffles, that it takes awhile for their Taste Buds to come back.

Just give it some Time and you should be Fine. And Remember to Drink a Lot of Water.
